The job descriptions have changed. We now continue our educations beyond high school, secure well-paying jobs, and hold positions of leadership.

We get it. You may feel it\u2019s taboo and the last thing you want to think about, but the truth is, a period is the most natural thing in the world. This rite of passage celebrates the transformation of a girl to a young woman and prepares her for the next stage of life. That\u2019s a pretty impressive monthly adventure! Can we count on you to help us stop the stigma that\u2019s been attached to this natural part of life for far too long? The less you\u2019re afraid to engage in a little period talk, the more it will ease our concerns, too.[\/et_pb_text][et_pb_text module_class=\"blog-heading-style1\" _builder_version=\"4.0.11\" custom_margin=\"||10px||false|false\" custom_padding=\"||||false|false\"]10.
